Civil War General Stonewall Jackson Pocket Watch

POCKET WATCH, a new gift boxed General Stonewall Jackson pocket watch with chain. The pocket watch comes in a grey display box that has the confederate flag on the inside satin. The pocket watch runs by a battery and is working and keeping good time. The front outside of the watch has a picture of Stonewall Jackson and this print on it "Gen. Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson 1824-1863". The inside face of the watch also has Stonewall Jackson pictured. Born in what is now the state of West Virginia, in the town of Clarksburg, Thomas Jonathan Jackson possessed a strong military background at the outbreak of the Civil War. His training in the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, recognition as a hero in the Mexican War, and his experience as an instructor at the Virginia Military Institute justified Jackson's rank of brigadier general at the first major battle of the Civil War near Manassas, Virginia. Upon that field, General Bernard E. Bee proclaimed, "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall," and a legend as well as a nickname was born.
